Another one of those singers who barely achieved anything, then suddenly became "notable" after participating in a reality show. Pottyantós WC ( talk) 11:42, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. Nomination indicates no attempt at
WP:BEFORE. Passes point 2 (not one but THREE songs charting on a country's national charts), point 10 (represented Switzerland in the
Eurovision Song Contest 2022) and
WP:GNG - enough coverage of him in the sources in the article.

- One of those three songs is a cover. -- Pottyantós WC ( talk) 11:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Point two of NMUSIC says "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart", it doesn't say you have to be the original performer. But even taking that argument at its best, that still leaves two songs that have passed point 2 of NMUSIC. ser! ( chat to me - see my edits) 12:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Switzerland. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:07, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: He's charted AND won a national music award? Probably one of the easier cases for notability here in a while. Easy keep. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:32, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per above. Idiosincrático ( talk) 14:15, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. "Barely achieved anything" is inaccurate at best. Deauthorized. ( talk) 15:07, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Take a look at Zsolt Süle if possible, it's also at AFD. - Pottyantós WC ( talk) 05:52, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- keep - Several charting songs. Good sourcing. Covers WP:GNG and NMUSIC. Would also like to add that a national final for ESC is not a reality show. One of the easiest Keep-decisions for a while. BabbaQ ( talk) 07:18, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Nominating editor has been indefinitely blocked on 23 September. David notMD ( talk) 19:50, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any scope for closing this early? The nominator has been blocked and it seems it's
WP:SNOWing. I'm not overly familiar with AfD procedures so I said I'd ask.

- @ Ser!: If the sockpuppetry is confirmed (which is seeming likely) the article can be speedily kept and the nomination deleted as a banned contribution. Deauthorized. ( talk) 17:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
